Tips From the Agent
I’m always looking for work by BIPOC authors, especially in the literary, historical, and suspense space. In nonfiction, I’m eager to work with scientists, journalists, and historians with some truths to tell or stories to share. I’m not the best fit for memoir or picture books.
